BIG Announcement - Simpson extends

[jeppy89]

Looking forward to seeing the new EPS though. Thorlo has to be in the mix...doesn't he?

He was a menace yesterday!

With a few wingers injured it’s not a daft hope!

Really disappointed was expecting another big concert announcement after girl band/boy band and have already pressed my tartan flares in case it was the Bay City Rollers

Tom Jones must be due again?

Best not to associate yourself with the Bay City Rollers. A couple of them were very dodgy and I don't mean their clothes.

May I make it quite clear that under no circumstances do I wish to be associated with the BCR just joking ......Spice Girls now your talking

Think this is what got people talking!

Is it possible that the big news was the shirt...but after the speculation that the big news might only be a shirt they released the Simpson news instead?

Seems like it could be! Given the purple shirt emoji

I posted this on the new shirt thread at 14.44 so I think you are right:

I reckon it was intended as the big announcement - see the shirt icon on the original Twitter message.

But given the feverish speculation and excitement Sunday's message engendered (The beast, Sinckler, Jon May etc), I reckon the powers-that-be realised they needed something a little more substantial than a new kit - otherwise a mob armed with pitchforks would have marched on Kingsholm.

Luckily, they had the Simpson contract extension up their sleeeves and were able to bring this announcement forward.

I hear the shed might be considering their own version of Baz's 1873 group ?...

The 1381 ?
